July 15, 20178 yr https://forums.chrisbelldesigns.com/topic/207-black-marble/ This is looking fantastic to me. With Black Marble Base the default roads system will get way better en a more real looking nightlighting. And you can control and change the way the lighting looks. As I understand it the Black Marble Vector package replaces the default roads system with all roads from the whole world at their correct place. You can add Black Marble bridges ( all bridges in the world ) and Black Marble Traffic ( moving cars with realistic configurable lighting ). All packages are now in Pre Order at -25%. I have all Night Environment packages for Europe so I know how good Chris' work is. 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0
July 15, 20178 yr Isn't it the same as Blue Marble - just at night? Best regards,--Anders Bermann-- ____________________Scandinavian VAPilot-ID: SAS2471
July 15, 20178 yr Author No, Blue Marble photo scenery from the whole planet ( day and night ) at 500 Mp. This is looking nice from 35000 ft and up. Black Marble is no photo scenery. If you want great looking nightlighting on top of photo scenery there is Night Environment. BM looks like that on a normal underground ( default / FTX etc) 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0
July 15, 20178 yr So how does black marble vector and ftx vector interact? That's my question. Otherwise it looks very nice but the price is also high. So it better be good :-)
July 15, 20178 yr Ill agree his night environment was fantastic for p3d v3x... but my "theres something fishy" radar has gone off. Whats the catch here ??? Is it v4 compatible.??? Black Marble is now available for Pre-Order from our Shop with a 25% introductory discount!!! Black Marble Base $29.99 USD $39.99 USD Black Marble Vector Pack $44.99 USD $59.99 USD Black Marble 3D Bridge Pack $22.49 USD $29.99 USD Black Marble Traffic Pack $22.49 USD $29.99 USD
July 15, 20178 yr PREPAR3D $22.50 $44.99 PREPAR3D v4 $44.99 Why is v4 twice as much as v3 ?? for the products... Whats the difference between Vector, Base, and next generation my "fishy, this sounds dodgy" radar is never wrong.. still you can for support now too https://shop.chrisbelldesigns.com/shop/product/27-base/
July 15, 20178 yr The price is the same. But he is selling it per platform. If you buy for v4 and you also want to buy for v3, he will give you 50% off. Play around a bit in his shop. You can choose to buy v3 and you will see that v4 will give you a discount. Don't confuse Blue Marble with Black Marble. Black Marble is like Night Environment but for the whole world. There is a nice explanation on his forum about Black Marble Base,Vector, Traffic and Bridges. https://forums.chrisbelldesigns.com/topic/207-black-marble/?do=findComment&comment=3194 23 minutes ago, tooting said: PREPAR3D $22.50 $44.99 PREPAR3D v4 $44.99 Why is v4 twice as much as v3 ?? for the products...

July 15, 20178 yr I bought the UK package back in the day of FSX and found it to be a bit of an fps killer. Also the price for individual countries was rather high, meaning that if you flew regularly around say Europe it would cost a few hundred Pounds sterling to just replace road lighting. So not for me I'm afraid, but I'm sure others will love the package and buy it.

Yes you may not see half of that at night It looks good but if I have to do this i wont be buying it
